It’s not enough to get “rich” by founding an internet company and watching the IPO explode. You have to keep the stock price up long enough for you to sell it.
I worked for one of those dot com bubbles in 2000. Got fired for doing what the boss told me to do (not what the boss wanted) right before Christmas, my last paycheck bounced, then he cut my severance pay in half. I found out next year he wasn’t able to make payroll.
If you really had in excess of a billion dollars in the bank, you could have stuffed it into your mattress or something and you’d still be able to live the rest of your life without ever seeing a bill you couldn’t pay. If you have that much and lost it all, you’ll get no symptoms atty from me!

Replace “dot-com” with “bitcoin” and it still makes sense.

Hard to believe it’s been a generation since the last tech bubble busted.
